The majority of this salt
KCl produced is used for making
fertilizer, since the growth of many plants is limited by
their potassium intake. As a chemical feedstock KCl is used
for the manufacture of
potassium hydroxide and
potassium metal. KCl is also used in
medicine,
scientific applications,
food processing, as a sodium-free substitute for
table salt (sodium
chloride), and in
judicial
execution through
lethal injection. KCl is sometimes used in water as a
completion fluid in oil and gas operations. It is also used as an
alternative to
sodium chloride in household
water softener units. It is useful as a
beta radiation source for calibration of radiation monitoring
equipment because natural potassium contains 0.0118% of the isotope
40K. It is also used in
Dasani water. It was once used as a fire extinguishing
agent. It can be used as a salt substitute
for food, but due to its weak, bitter, un-salty flavor, it is
usually mixed with regular salt (sodium chloride), for this purpose
to improve the taste (for example, in Morton Light Salt. It is used
in oil drilling fluid, muds and Chemicals.
Potassium
chloride (occurs
naturally as
sylvite, and it can be extracted from
sylvinite. It is also extracted from
salt water and can be manufactured by crystallization
from
solution,
flotation or
electrostatic separation from suitable minerals. It
is a by-product of the making of
nitric acid from
potassium nitrate and
hydrochloric acid.
It is also commonly known as Muriate
of Potash MOP.
Potash varies in color from pink or red to white
depending on the mining and recovery process used. White
potash, sometimes referred to as soluble potash, is usually
higher in analysis and is used primarily for making liquid
starter fertilizers.
It was once used as a fire
extinguishing agent, used in portable and
wheeled fire extinguishers. Known as Super-K
dry chemical, it was more effective than
sodium bicarbonate-based dry chemicals and
was compatible with protein foam. This agent
fell out of favor with the introduction of
potassium bicarbonate (Purple-K) dry
chemical in the late 60s, which was much
less corrosive and more effective. Rated for
B and C fires.
It
is also an
optical crystal with a wide transmission
range from 210 nm to 20 µm. It
was formerly often used in the
infrared spectrum range, and still is
from time to time. While cheap,
KCl crystal is
hygroscopic. This limits its application
to protected environments or short term
uses such as prototyping. Exposed to
free air KCl optics will "rot". Today, much tougher
crystals like ZnSe have replaced it
for IR spectral range
applications.
It has also
been used to create heat
packs which employ
exothermic chemical
reactions, but these are no
longer being created due to
cheaper and more efficient
methods such as the
oxidation of metals ('Hot
Hands', one time use
products) or the
crystallization of sodium
acetate (multiple use
products).
A very bulk
use of Potassium chloride is
in mines and Oil Drilling
mud and chemicals.
Potassium is
vital in the human body and
oral KCl is the common means
to replenish it, although it
can also be diluted and
given intravenously (of
course, in concentrations
much lower than those used
in executions). It
can be used as a salt
substitute for food, but due
to its weak, bitter,
un-salty
flavor, it is usually mixed
with regular salt (sodium
chloride), for this purpose
to improve the taste (for
example, in Morton Light
Salt. Medically it is used
in the treatment of
hypokalemia and associated
conditions, for digitalis
poisoning, and as an
electrolyte replenisher.
We as Potassium chloride
manufacturer offer
Technical, Pure, IP, BP USP FCC grades of the product. Among
other Potassium salts we can offer Mono Potassium Phosphate, Di
Potassium Phosphate, Tri Potassium Phosphate, Potassium Sulphate
or Potassium Acetate or Potassium
Nitrate. We do not offer Potassium Muriate or
